It is a tradition with our family that at Thanksgiving Dinner, we go around the table and each of us says what we’re thankful for. It occurred to me that many other people may do the same, especially those who should get stuffed along with their turkeys.

So, The Planet’s crack surveillance team…after being yelled at by me for only surveilling cracks, have used our high tech equipment to eavesdrop on a number of notable people at their Thanksgiving Dinner. And if they complain about invasion of privacy, we will deny it happened, because, as we all know, “A wiretap requires a court order”.

MICHELLE BACHMAN: I’m thankful for the Prozac shortage, bats and belfries, loose screws, Bizarro Superman, the Earth being flat and the Fiction section in The House of Representatives.

GLENN BECK: I’m thankful for Kleenexes, that hair is combustible, Joseph McCarthy, panic buttons, mindless hysterical fear of black people, Vicks VapoRub eye shadow and the limited range of broadcast mikes along with the new whisper-quiet technology of vibrators.

A happy Thanksgiving to all of our amazing members and readers, we’re so thankful to have all of you here and the wealth of your knowledge, intelligence, concern and wit that you so generously share here on The Planet.

Today I am thankful for just being alive….tomorrow however is questionable. This is my widdle attempt at being funneeee. I will just never be as good at it as Adlib and others (sigh). Happy Thanksgiving PlanetPOV family!

Happy Holiday Season to my PPOV family! I am very grateful for this vibrant corner of the internet. Today I am particularly grateful to be alive in this beautiful city where the sky is the color of a blue balloon.

Hello Webb from Weesee….
I think you are right about the snub! Someone suggested that yesterday on the latest “Obama’s Nefarious Visitors Log” thread on HP. The anti-Obama stuff has been stepped up considerably in the past few days since the dinner. It all makes sense now! Checking out your site!

Wow — I am thankful for this link to your site. I’m going to pass it on. I think you may have something with your resentment theory. Maybe that explains a lot. Maybe there’s a lot of unrequited longing going on from the AH camp!

I am Thankful for the Obama’s in the White House.
Very Thankful for Music, Dog shows on Animal Planet and soft klenex.
I am Thankful for Kids that can take over the meal prep
when the cold/cough has taken over me.
They are doing a great job!

I’m thankful that my husband and I are hanging in with our jobs, we have a nice small house. Lots of cat’s, many friends, my mom, Democrats and Obama. I am glad to be a part of this site, and even though HP is going down the tubes, I like many of the people I have ‘met’ there. Happy day everyone!

LOL. Love it! I’m thankful for greyhounds — esp Tinker and Chica, the Rocky Mountains, my good hiking shoes, all my favorite writers esp. Ray Carver, the internet, my cozy house and my Forester. Thankful my back is pretty stable right now, my boss’s business seems to be picking up. I am thankful for the turkey in the oven and the potatoes I still haven’t peeled! (better go do that now).

I am not thankful for my varmint cat who threw up under my lovely table setting this morning.

I’m thankful for friends and an adopted family complete with toddler who will liven my day. I’m thankful for being one of the blessed who has a job and therefore can put food in front of the aforementioned adopted family. I’m thankful for good friends, known and unknown, who have compassion for others and a sense of humor all at the same time. I’m thankful for no longer being dependent on Arianna’s screed, and I’m thankful for a president who honestly cares about his nation, not just the ‘have mores’. I’m thankful for turkey (and apologize to same for having turkey) and all the trimmings. I’m thankful for three more days off ’cause I’m exhausted trying to save the world. And I’m thankful again for all of you who also liven my day in ways different from the toddler. Or maybe the same. Whatever. Anyway -- thanks.
